Hi ET,
Yes your router can tell you what is connected.
Go to your routers home screen, so the screen after you have logged in,
Then you should have tab options for
Internet,
Wireless,
Then attached devices,
Open the attached devices tab and then I had to refresh the page but it listed
all my devices with name and connection type eg wifi etc.
Can't remember if it had the ip address for each device but should be easy
enough to find out.
As for same IP being used by two devices . yeah it happens.
If your routers only just powered on, it may provide the same ip address to two
machines but this should correct itself after a few minutes
Although on your windows machine you can get it to grab a new address by
opening a command prompt and using the ipconfig / release
Then ipconfig / renew commands
I have all my devices using DHCP so that's 4 windows servers, a notebook,
Apple tv, blueray, tv and a number of sonos devices,
I get no issues from them.
I do have my iPhone and iPad using reserved IP addresses through mac address
filtering,
But none of my devices give me any errors with ip already in use.
Also I wonderd why you turn yor router off over night?
I never turn my router off unless the power to the house goes off.
I just wondered why you do this??

Subject: Wi-fi Query
I turn my router off at night so its fresh in the morning; Today after
restarting the router and booting the Mac, then starting VMware Fusion but not
yet running the VM, the Mac popped up a dialog informing me that another device
was using the same IP address. I repeated the whole process after turning off
the iPhone so there would not br anything else connecting. Same dialog
different IP address. Started over with iPhone turned on. No dialog this time.
Should this happen again, how can I see what might be connected to my Wi-Fi?
Side note; when I went to menu extras and opened the Wi-Fi item, my phone
was listed under Personal Hotspot even though this is not enabled on my iPhone.
Is this normal?
